Canadian media icon and cultural connector George Stroumboulopoulos joins The 1st Half Culture Show presented by Breville, in collaboration with evenko and CULTMTL, for a no-holds-barred conversation about football, music, media, and community.
We talk Spurs heartbreak and Bob Marley, why football supporters aren’t just “fans,” how stadiums tell stories, and what it means to live out your values in a system that doesn’t always care. George also drops gems on storytelling, Canada’s evolving identity, and why kindness still matters—even in the cutthroat world of sports and media.
It’s thoughtful, raw, and as real as Strombo himself.
